Marburg virus often spills over from bats and then spreads rapidly between people via contact with an infected person's bodily fluid.
Yap Boom of the Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says Ethiopian authorities are going door-to-door in the area of the outbreak.
He says the goal is twofold.
